WITS DICERE ACIDE4T.:I LON 1)0N, WEi)NEST)4Y EVENING, AI.IRCIIB, 1826. A private letter from llamburgh, given in a Paris Journal of Sunday, notices the presence of Gustavus, Ex-Monarch of Swanex, at St. Petersburgh, where, however, he is said to keep in strict incognito. This is assumed to be in ac cordance with the wish of the Emperor NICHOLAS, to avoid giving offence to King CHARLES JOHN, by any public countenance of GurrAvus. It has long been surmised, that the apprehensions of the Iloly Alliance will never be effectually tranquil. lized, until the ancient order of legitimacy shall be restored in Sweden. The personal friendship known have subsisted between the Emperor ALEXANDER and King CHARLES JOHN, pre eluded all hope of unsettling the existing order of things in Sweden. CONSTANTINE, on the other band is equally attached to the Monarch GUSTAVUS. What may be the feeling of Ni. CIIOLAS towards the respective dynasties has not been publicly stated. The position of the New Family under these circumstances, may, perhaps, be considered as precarious, without some external support, to counterpoise the for midable power by which it might be assailed. Is it to England, that CHARLES JOHN will look for the maintenance of the political system esta blished at the Congress of Vienna ? A llamburgh Mail arrived this morning. It does not bring any political intelligence of interest. The Russian Government is taking measures for the introduction of a uniform measure of length throughout the Empire. At Berlin the journey of the Duke of WELLINGTON appears to have ex cited much speculation in the political circles : ST. PETERSBURiIn, FEL 18. The Nobility of Moscow having applied to the Emperor for permission to offer their congratulation by a special deputation, his-Majesty replied, that he considered this as a new proof of the zeal by which that body had always distinguished itself in its attachment to the Throne. His Majesty intended to go to Moscow in the spring, and thought the sending a special de:- putation unnecessary,' but expressed to the body of the nobility his satisfaction at the great zeal they had displayed. By an Ukase of the 28th January, the Russian merchants of all (luilds, without distinction, are permitted to import the produce of Russia and Bessarabia (wine and brandy excepted), by the custom-houses on the Dneister. Salt of Bessarabia may henceforward be imported into the free port of Odessa. . The Finance Department is at this moment taking the most utire measures for the introduction of a uniform measure of length throUghout the empire, as was ordered during the reign of the late Emperor. For this purpose directions have been given for making a number of arshiens of iron, which are to be authorised by a stamp. The Finance Department is to send such arshiens to the several Governments and Provinces, in suf ficient numbers for sale. All this has been done ; but though the time fixed for the use of the old arshiens has long since ex pired, the sale of the new ones advance but slowly, and not in proportion to the population. The Minister of Finance has, therefore, issued new ,injunctions on this subject. For this week past we have had again very cold weather, Reaumur's thermometer being at 10. to 1!. below Zero, but without snow. BERLIY, FEB. 25. Now that the Duke of Wellington has left us, our political circles are busily discussing the object of his mission. Some affirm they have frequently heard a declaration that the policy of his Government is directed to the preservation of peace, and those who take an interest in the utli►irs of the unfortunate Greeks flatter themselves with hopes that he will make propo sals at St. Petersburgh for putting an end to their calamities The Journal called Veue:' Gazette: has published by corn mend a poem to compliment the Duke of Wellington on the day of his arrival here, and afterwards an English translation of it. Mr. one of the greatest and richest Bankers in this city, has terminated his life in a violent manner. • COPENILAGEN, FEU. 25. The Jubilee of the introduction of Christianity into Dentnark . will be celebrated on Whitsunday. The news of the failure of the house of Goldschmidt, in in London, has caused no little consternation on our Exchange. —(Hambigtgh Correspondent, Nardi I.) " The principles upon which the Court- of Chancery was established were so sound and so admirable, that he would defy the ingenuity of man or the collective wisdom of any body of men, to devise a system more beneficial to the community."— (Speech etite - ATTottwltY ORWERAL in the Hojite of Com. moues, Tuesday, fllw•eh 7, 11126.) • We beg to assure our Readers, that the above really is the quotation it professes to be, and was published in most of the Morning Papers as , the language used by the ATTOILNEY•GENLRAL, when speaking of the Court of Chancery. The ignorance thus displayed of the principles of the Court of Chancery by the first Law Officer of the Crown, however surprising, is nevertheless ex. cusable, when we reflect the Learned Gentleman is a common law lawyer, and has little or no thing do with those Courts of our Lord the KING, miscalled Courts of Equity.--That the principles of the Court of Chancery are not sound is a self-evident truth, plainly de. monstrated by the fact, that a commission is at this moment sitting, authorised to inquire into its practice, and suggest a remedy for some of its most crying enormities, with a view to render it more efficient as a Court ofJustice. The ATTOII. NICY.G I:I,IERAL, when lauding this Court, seems to have forgotten the origin of the office of the ACCOUNTANT-GEN !MAL. He seems to havit forgotten that it arose entirely from the frauds practised by certain Masters in Chan. eery, some 70 or 80 years ago, and to make up the defalcations of whom to the suitor's addi. tional stamps , were imposed upon proceedings in that sound and admirable Court.— . Yet all these facts the public records establish, the very Acts of Parliament themselves will evidence them, and a very small acquaint. anco with the Statute Book mi g ht have put the learned Attorney in possession of them. Public outcries are not excited without some ground, anti we think the ATTOUNEY.G KRAL might have heard of that which has been raised against this odious Court, and if so, might, without in• jury to his own self-love, have doubted the soundness of any opinion of his own which went in opposition to the voice of the public. The truth is, that the equity system of this coml. try is radically bad. It does not contain in itself a single seed that could bring forth good fruit, or a wholesome foundation upon which to erect From the very commence. a me s n o t li do of fa t b h r e ic. suit to the decree, through all its collateral ramifications of references to Mas ters, of Appeals to the Chancellor, and Appe a ls to the House of Lords, the benefit of the community is never considered. It is all deceit, all fraud, all expence, and ruin to those unhappy men, whose ill-fated stars have driven them to this Court, either as suitors or defendants; for, iu either character, it is alike destructive. But if this declaration is made by the AT,. TORT/EY-GENERA L, who doubtless h u ts seen this long wished for report of the Chancery Commissioners, we greatly fear that, after all, it will prove an abortion. The good to be ex pected from it must necessarily be of a very questionable nature, if the principles upon which justice has been hitherto administered in that Court are to be supported. The public has le e how badly these principles have worked in the delays and expenceS incident to a suit in Chan cery, in the utter ruin that follows by a suit in Equity, to the individuals concerned, and to the property Involved. The public must know alt this, and will therefore receive with doubt the above quoted declaration, and know what remedy to expect at the hands of the Chan cery Commissioners. An , inquiry of the nature submitted to these Gentlemen, undertaken with the feelings and views with which the ATTORNEY-GENERAL seems to have been ani mated, must necessarily 'Prove abortive ; for to enter upon it with a notion of the soundness of the principles of the institution to be inquired into, shuts the mind against conviction, and closes every, avenue by which the slightest im pression' of an opposite nature can be made. We have then still longer to endure ; but we console ourselves under the idea that the thing cannot last very long, and that, however the public outcries may be stifled for the present by the"sop" thus thrown to them to pacify importunities, in a little while they will break out again with re novated and irresistible strength.

Hawed 2 On the fatal day of the /15th of December, it body of rebel soldiers of the regiment of Grena. diers of the Guard was marching towards th, Winter Palace, the residence of the Im perial Family, doubtless with the intention 0. executing the wicked desi gns (mined by th conspirators. On a sudden, the Emperor, ac companied by a few attendants, met them, and wished them a good day. The mutineers, after a moment's hesitation, returned his s a lutation, and cried " The Emperor Con. stantine fur ever 1" " You are, doubtlest rebels also," replied the Emperor, with rare sang froid; " but you have missed your way ; the rebels are assembling in Isaac', square ; direct your steps that way—march, These words, spoken with the dignity whir characterizes our young Monarch, made such a• impression on these rebels,' that, merely obey ing his orders, they marched back, and proceedt to Isaac's-square, where, a few hours afterward they shared the well-merited fate of the othe rebels. How many similar scen e s, which ar e not gene rally known, may have occurred on that eventft day ! But if the calnmess and resolution of th Emperor have been the object of general admire lion, the tranquillity and pious resignation of tip , Empress Alexandrine equally charmed all dm* who were about her on the '26th of December when the most distinguished ladies of the cit: were assembled in her apartments. An affectin,: circumstance deserves to be particularly men tioned. At the moment when her Majesty received from her august consort the melancholy message that it was necessary to fire the cannon agains the rebels, the Princess, melting into tears, felt an her knees, and continued in prayer till she was informed that the revolt was happily sup. pressed. Thus this criminal insurrection of tl 26th December, instead of attaining the object produced a directly contrary effect, by giving new impulse to the sentiments of love and attscl meat which the people entertain for their imp, rial Majesties.

One called that of the /Ma, was supposed to be in the French interest t while the ether, called that of the Cass, was supposed to he devoted to Russia. Since the general peace France seems to have exercised no influence over the affairs of Sweden, but it has been succeeded by England which now riv a ls the formidabl e neighbour of the Scandinavian kingdom. During the life of Alexander, indeed, the Itussian party, though little inclined in favour of the dynasty of Bernadotte, and though the house of Gottorp had still numerous partisans, was reduced to perfect in activity by the personal friendship of the two Sovereigns. But since the death of this powerful protector, a change twist° have taken place with respect to Sweden, of which some. alarming sympt . oms have been observed.both in the foreign relations and in the spirit of the people, which has been manifested on several oc casions. It is therefore not surprising that King CharleS John seeks an approximate more closely to England, and two CO'. net Messengers hoot Stockholm to London have passed throuh this city within a few days, who seem, by the haste they ma de, to be the bearers of very important dispatches. There are va rious reports, but all persons who have means of being inform. ed, give us to understand that Charles John is at present in a very embarrassing situation. It is affirmed that Prince Gustavus is at Petershurgh but that he observes the strictest inovoito, because the "Paperer Nicholas wishes at first to avoid any-ostensible measure which might give umbrage to the Swedish Monarch, with whom it is at present his interest to be on good terms.
